Re: Adelaide Crows Reserves 2014

Agreed . state league is what we are .... and the best state league is what we should strive to be (not 2nd best comp to the AFL).

I much prefer the Crows (SANFL) being referred to their state league rather than reserves team.

As for Sanfulll ... I also agree but alas one of the highest ranking SANFL official's says it all the time so it's hard to tell others they are wrong.

Just on the zone thing, once a player turns a certain age ... I think 19 ... if they are not on a SANFL club senior list then there is no transfer fee payable to the SANFL club they are zoned to. The transfer is with the suburban / country club he is playing for.

Re: The Magpies Are Now The AFL Power Reserves

Re NFL -

For starters a lot of the 45 man squad get to play on game day.

Whilst there are only 11 on the field its a separate starting 11 for offences, 11 for defence and a few for special teams (kicker, long snapper, punter).

Then within each unit players come on and off for specific game situations.

ie 5 wide receivers probably rotate around, defences can be more lineman focused on short goal line stands or more defensive backs if a long yardage play.

Only a few won't normally play, the 2 back up quarterbacks (teams usually have 3 on their list) and possibly the lowest ranked player on the "depth chart" for each position. Injuries (of which there are many) can change that in an instant.

Those lesser used players PLUS those on the "practice squad" (not on the official list but assist at trainings) get used a lot at full contact practices during the week mainly as the "opponents" for the starters to practice against.

In essence NFL had a developmental league called NFL Europe which folded a few years back, a very select few come from minor Pro leagues, Arena Football or Canadian Football.

The main development pool is college players (There are approx 130 major colleges and hundreds more at a minor level).

With only 32 NFL teams, only a small pct of college players get drafted, leaving a huge pool of undrafted players waiting for a call.

Those drafted and many "free agents" fight for the few spots at training camp

Re: Crows reserves supporters

Refer FOOT-e TIMES Daily from Tuesday & it shows Round 2 Crowds for recent years going back to 2009.

Last weekend's 5 game TOTAL was lower than all of the previous 4 game TOTAL.
http://footetimes.com/foot-e-times-daily-tues-april-15/

There is the possibility of some high drawing games this Easter round and next week with ANZAC Day so hopefully things will improve.

Re: New SANFL radio call?

Yep ... all of the above.

In the old days there was a team that used to call games not on Radio or TV for Pine Lodge Studios that used to get footage of all the non ABC games. This was for DVD sales only.

Now with non broadcast games this year AV Adelaide & the SANFL have worked out a way to web stream the call. A great advancement.

It is an SANFL initiative, to cover holes where RPH can only do 1 or 2 games due to less time slots to cover.

Next trick will be Sat Jul 12 with 5 games all at the same time

With 1 on TV, 1 RPH & 1 LifeFM that leaves 2 needing coverage at the same time.

Re: Average and median crowd figures to Round 8

Every year I have collected crowd figures ... back to 2004, they always start strong and drop as the year progresses. This year is no different.

Comparison this year with last is tricky due to the restructure now 18 rounds v 5 games against 23 rounds v 4 or 4 games in years gone by,

But we still have 90 games in a season and each club (bar Port 9 & Crows 1) have 10 home games.

will try to post some figures later tonight but after 65 games I have SANFL as a whole up about 5-7% on last year at the same time (after 65 games).

Re: Average and median crowd figures to Round 8

Yes you can remove it, but if you are looking for a comparison don't you also have to remove the top drawing games form last year as well?

I guess you have to estimate
- how many would have turned up to an ANZAC DAY night match at the Bay against another high drawing SANFL club without Walker ... history says about 5-6K.
and
- how many would have turned up if the old system was in play and he returned via Norwood. who knows?


I estimate the Walker factor was worth about 3K to 4K to that figure. I think they would have certainly got 5K without him.

Take say 4,000 out of the 65 games and it is about 60 people per game.

Now the average after 65 games this year is 2,885 per match

After 63 games last year it was 2728 per match (up 157 per match .. 5.75%)
After 67 games last year it was 2720 per match (up 165 per match .. 6.06%)

So even if you took out the Taylor Walker factor of 4,000 or 60 per game ... Crowds are still up about 100 per game

The SANFL has short term, medium term and long term challenges to address.

The relevance of the SANFL & the 8 clubs to their current /future supporter bases within their communities with the introduction of AFL reserves side is an important matter that needs to be addressed now rather than 5 years later.

Re: Channel 7 announced by SANFL as preferred telecast partn

Radio is simple ... assume the person is not at the ground and you have to paint the WHOLE picture, who, where, when, how etc. ie their entire understanding of what is happening comes from what you tell them.

TV is harder given the picture tells a lot of that ... what the commentators need to do is add to that.

Personally if I was on TV I would still call a lot of the names (I never call all of them, even on radio) as many people at home may see the player but not know who it is. But then the people who know every player backwards would see that as unnecessary.

Re: SANFL crowd numbers

The MWJFL Lightning Carnival is an interesting wrinkle to this debate.

Every Crows game has no automatic curtain raiser so it has been up to each club to come up with one.

All other people involved in a curtain raiser be it the Womens All Star Game (Central) or Sacred Heart v Scotch (Glenelg) or an U18 trial (Norwood) have been included in that games crowd figures so I fail to see why the Eagles figure requires adjustment just because we organised a curtain raiser event which did bring in a lot of people.


We (the Eagles) saw the 2 Crows games with no curtain raiser as an OPPORTUNITY to do something that would bring people to Woodville.

We could not do the same event against any other SANFL club because of the reserves game filling the curtain raiser spot.

When we sold the idea to the MWJFL back in February (there was a lot or work in making this a reality) the fact the kids would be the curtain raiser event to a game involving AFL listed players certainly added to the appeal of what we were proposing.

So whilst the Crows probably did little work to bring the crowd, it could not have occurred without them.


As for how many actually came for the carnival and how many for the game we did ask for a crowd figure from the SANFL at 11.30am when the last of the MWJFL teams should have started playing.

I don't have permission to exactly quote the figure but I can say the 2,500 figure is overstated. It was a little lower than 2,000, noting some of those were early birds or staff / officials for the main game.

We (The Eagles) were actually very pleased by the number of families that stayed on post carnival, firstly for the parade (that stretched down the entire outer boundary at one point), then the donut distribution and Kids Community Treasure Hunt. We did not clear the queue of kids lining up to do the hunt until after quarter time of the main game.

Re: SANFL scheduling!

Aug 30-31 AFL have scheduled Crows Rd 22 v St Kilda game at Adelaide Oval on Sunday Aug 31.

so

this should mean SANFL Elimination & Qualifying finals will be DH at Adelaide Oval on the Saturday August 30

so

this means Round 18 games should be Friday Night / Saturday matches so teams have the full 7 day preparation.

Re: R17 scores and dribble

The ladder as I have it

LADDER W Pct Pts
Port 11 58.66% 22* play Nwd Sun
Sturt 11 55.12% 22
Norwood 10 55.82% 20* play Port Sun
South 9 53.03% 18 * play West Sun
Eagles 9 49.07% 18

Central 9 48.63% 18
North 8 49.16% 16
Adelaide 7 49.13% 14
West 6 45.40% 12* play South Sun
Glenelg 3 37.04% 6


Conclusions

- Port have double chance
- Sturt and Norwood have secured finals berths
- Eagles can't finish top 3
- Adelaide, West & Glenelg cant play finals


Tomorrow

- A South win v West will lock in a finals berth for the Panthers, the others below could get to 10 wins next week but wont make up the pct.
and it will still give them a shot at the Double Chance if they can make up the pct difference over Sturt .

- A West win over South locks in double chance for Sturt (2 wins up) and Norwood (far superior pct)

- A Port win v Norwood secures Minor Premiership for Magpies

- A Norwood win v Port secures double chance for Redlegs, a win by 75-80 points would give them top spot on percentage.


Port & West combination
- Port minor premiers, Sturt & Norwood double chance secured.
- Four teams (South, Eagles, Central & North) all on 9 wins for 2 spots in Elimination Final.

Port & South combination
- Port minor premiers
- Norwood, Sturt & South guaranteed finals, battling for 2 spots in Qualifying Final
- Eagles, Central & North battling for 1 spot in Elimination Final


Norwood & West combination
- Port, Norwood & Sturt all top 3, minor premiership down to last round
- Four teams (South, Eagles, Central & North) all on 9 wins for 2 spots in Elimination Final.

Norwood & South combination
- Port & Norwood secured top 3, minor premiership down ,
- Sturt & South secured finals battling for 1 spot in qualifying final
- Eagles, Central & North battling for 1 spot in Elimination final


Anyway that tomorrow goes next Saturday afternoon is going to be fascinating to follow.

Re: Financial Status Of SANFL Clubs 2014.

Glenelg had an extra 5,502 come to its home games this year. At an average $6 per person spend (league average I am told) at bar & canteen that is about $33K of extra revenue, take out the cost of good sold and hopefully there is some profit from that. This does not include gate income.

They would have also receive $50K from the Crows. Profit with no expenses.

Not sure how Ports $50K works ...ie if it results in each club receiving 50K extra.

They shouldn't have had any expenses (legal or otherwise) from the light tower installation that bogged them down in previous years.

They may have had a dip in membership. A standard general adult membership has a profit margin of $20-$35.
So if they had 500 less adult members that would be a profit loss of $10,000 to $17,500

Then there is sponsorship, fundraising and the biggest income producing component of all the social club / function centre.


So overall they should be in a better financial position ... but they were coming from a long way back.

Re: SANFL crowd numbers

I will do up a detailed report on crowd figures when I get a chance.

But in summary

SANFL
- minor round average in 2013 (2619) up by 7.4% to 2812 this year.
- increase 193 per game or 17,370 total over the match minor round

HOME GAMES
of the 9 clubs who regularly held home games, 6 had an increase over 2013, 3 (Central, North & West a decrease)

ALL GAMES
from last years 9 clubs, 7 had an increase per game home & away, 2 (Central & West) had a decrease.

Biggest Growth was Sturt
- Home & Away crowds up 589 per game (23.4%)
- Away Crowds up 527 per game (21.8%)
- Home Crowds up 625 per game (24.6%)

Biggest Drop was West
- Home & Away Crowds down 419 per game (16.5%)

Re: SANFL crowd numbers

Laptop with my figures being serviced at the moment should have something done by this time next week.

I do not think comparing April crowds with July's is right. Every club usually gets lower home crowds as the season goes along.
This happens to almost every club every year since I started taking decent records in 2005.
Port were the exception as they had Crows and Norwood as their last 2 matches.

The jury is still out for mine, re this having a positive or negative crowd effect over time.

I just think it is wrong for people to say that crowds are down this year.. In a specific example that might be right but overall for the league it is simply not factually correct.

The real comparison will be next year when we have 2 sets of matching figures to look at.

As for taking out special games, this assumes there were no special games in previous years.

Anzac day Norwood North at the Parade to me would have got about 7k. West game in 2013 same venue got 6k
Glenelg crows with no Tex would have got at least 5k.
So those novelties taken out would still leave 10k increase.

Re: The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

For the record

2014 Minor Round (90 games) - 253,187 (2,813 per game)

2013 Minor Round (90 games) - 235,721 (2,619 per game)

From an overall "whole of competition" perspective I don't think you can make the case less people came the SANFL matches last year than 2013.

That said

- 2013 was a very poor season for crowds.

- last year we had novelty factor of the crows entry &, SANFL showdowns against the novelty of the new Adelaide Oval drawing people from SANFL to AFL games.



Personal opinion, but I think the combination of no novelty factor, staggered, later start to season and poor weather in early rounds will see a major drop in attendances this season.

The 2 Easter weekend games were ahead of last year but no game in Rd 2 or 3 attracted more than 3K.

Four clubs (South, Eagles, West & Port) had less then 2,000 to their home opener which is usually one of their highest attending matches.


Each Tuesday morning FOOT-e TIMES Daily will have a "Crowd Watch" feature which will track progress through the year.

Well they didn't use them because according to your coach (note the quotation marks) they were "too small".

Again what word would you replace "rejected" with?

Re: Rnd 10 - Eagles v Adelaide @ M T Hyunda Oval (Sat 20/6)

The crowd at yesterdays game was larger than I expected it to be. Congratulations to the kids parade. Its good to see all the promotional activity.
What disappoints me is the lack of promotion our AFL teams put into the local game. I am not sure if the crows AFL players were there. If they were, there could have been some interaction with the local kids and some promotional activity. Any comments Phil


First it was great to see so many Auskickers (that was who the parade was for) turn up. We have a lot of new clinics with the zone changes, some a fair distance away, so the turn up was much greater than expected and close to double what we had last year (for a Sturt game).

Can't fault the support of the AFC during the week.
1) Two Crows players joined the Eagles DO at some school clinics during the week and a good amount of the free passes given out of these clinics came back to Woodville yesterday.
2) We also worked with the Crows re promotion to their members during the week and this led to about 3 stories being send out covering the match.

Having a Crows promotion at the game can be problematic. Through the IGA tent and Eagles lucky dip a lot of Crows kids collected some Eagles items. Not sure if it is beneficial for us to promote the Crows direct at the game. Was easier when we had players who played for both.

Crowd was 2,265 with a much larger porportion of kids than normal.

Personally very happy with the promotional returns
but
same game last year attracted 3,000. ....

Re: The Advertiser 'so disappointing' again

Personal opinion

Can't fault The Advertisers coverage today - Game mentioned over 8 pages including editorial.

Accept yes a reserves report would have been nice BUT I just think those days have past.
SANFL web site & Football Budget cover that competition pretty well.
There is just minimal interest,
That is the problem with "reserves" competition, something the SANFL must always avoid becoming.


Key factor though is coverage pregame to generate interest.

My level of expectation here is
- 1 page in sports section and 1 supporter/community themed piece in general for 5-6 days leading up to game
- double page previews on Saturday / Sunday
- Rundle Mall photo (Captains with cup) to be front & centre on Page 1 of Sunday Mail.

On that front there was a good degree of coverage BUT it fell a little short.

This is the coverage we used to get even in AFL era 12-15 years ago.

Should certainly be the level if both SA-AFL teams are out of action.

Re: R3: Eagles v Adelaide - Sunday 10 April @ Maughan Thiem

Picture this instead: The posts at each end shimmer as the heat rises from the floor of the collosus provincial amphitheatre. 30,000 voices raise in approval as the two foes appear

You Mean Like This? (Last years Crows game)

Kids Day Parade.jpg


The 500 in attendance will love it

With the carnival and work done with the Crows and local community It will be closer to 5,000 than 500.

Last years event attracted 4,679

In terms of average crowds v Crows here is how the 8 SANFL teams stack up over last 2 years.

v Crows 2014 2015 Avg Rnk
Glenelg 5963 2872 4418 1
Eagles 3429 3472 3451 2
Sturt 3305 2928 3117 5
Norwood 3302 2434 2868 3
North 3000 2196 2598 4
Central 2520 1651 2086 6
South 1971 1406 1689 7
West 1526 1640 1583 8



Should be a good crowd, even as we speak Phil is handing out free passes to Eagles members. :P

And again, just to be clear, again.

The Eagles do not have a pet membership

The Eagles have never had a pet membership.

Yes we do spend a lot of time connecting with Kids, but hey who wants the next generation knowing what the SANFL is?

Re: Round 6 LIVE Scores

Anything digital is in delay .... listen to digital radio or watch digital tv of a game same time as analogue radio.

Web streaming even more so, to varying degrees from 7 seconds to minutes.

Calling a game via wifi rather than phone line does the same.

Not sure why, just is.



There is solution. ...... add a narrowband broadcast to the stream,

ie on 88.2FM within a couple of km's of the broadcast point

It had already been done at SANFL level both in Adelaide and when LifeFM goes interstate to enable boundary riders to hear the live call for crosses.

No reason why Life FM can't do this as well and then they can do away with ISDN lines just calling wirelessly.

Then it can be promoted that regardless of who is doing the calling at the game
you can hear a LIVE call on 88.2FM

Re: R7: North v Adelaide - Sunday 8 May @ Prospect Oval

Here is how I think it works.

Early AFL game on Mothers Day Sunday is a timeslot no AFL club wants due to clash with fans having lunch with Mum.

So this year AFL has rejigged the Mothers Day round schedule putting 6 games on Saturday and only 2 on Sunday both starting later afternoon / twighlight. (Normally it is 5/3)


So Seven now has a no-AFL TV hole to fill early on ...... hey how about putting in our SANFL broadcast game here?

1.10pm start is so it can finish in time for AFL coverage to kick in at 4pm.

Re: 2016 SANFL Crowds

Have you got any idea of club memberships this year Phil? Sturt's is meant to be over 3000 which is a good figure all things considered.


On the surface, that is a good figure.

Short answer is no.

I suspect (with no proof) that most clubs have seen drops it recent years but things are now starting to stabilise at this lower level.

Each club publicises if they wish and given recent declines many don't.

Also the interpretation of what is a counted member varies greatly
- does a Life Member count? (they get to vote at AGMs)
- do those that sign up for a free junior membership count?
- do those who might automatically receive by playing junior footy a free junior membership count?
- do those who are under 18 (can't vote) but pay a junior membership count?
- what about a home match ticket that is received in a sponsorship package, sponsor has paid for the ticket
- do you count your volunteers who might get season tickets and a membership as part of their honourarium


Personally I think there should be a standardised interpretation across the SANFL
and there should be a public membership ladder somewhere across the 8 clubs (do not include Port Magpies)
Then let there be public competition among the 8 clubs and it's supporters to raise the bar.


Eagles publicised figure is 1722 (possibly a couple more pending update)

This does not include
about 2800 free U13 junior members who have signed up over recent years
nor an additional 500 or so auskickers who do get an automatic trial pack within their auskick items.

nor to be clear
- does it ever
- has it ever
- or will it ever (I hope)
include any pets.
